Introducing Virtual RTK
GPS is not new. The US Air Force started development of GPS (Global Positioning System; known internationally as GNSS, or Global Navigation Satellite System) in 1974 and the first satellite was launched in 1978. Originally meant for military use, US President Ronald Reagan made it available for civilian use in 1983. At that time, interestingly, […]
